My first blog

A few years ago I started with CI/CD and had some basis knowledge of Jenkins, XL Deploy/XL Release, Nexus, but I had no good understanding about the CI/CD concepts, the workflow and how to glue everything together. Yes, you can find some information on the Internet, but these are only tiny pieces and when you don't know the whole picture, it becomes a complex puzzle!

After some time, things began to fall in its place and with the help of all these snippets in blogs, on stack overflow and whatever, I managed to define a CI/CD pipeline and implemented various parts. Of course there are other people struggling with CI/CD, so I wanted to do something in return, in the form of a few blogs.

I don't want to be pretentious and claim that I know everything about CI/CD, but I picked up a few things along the way, so I hope that I can help at least a few people.
